Feminist Africa 6: Subaltern Sexualities

Download PDF

Anyone who is passionate about women, gender and development in African contexts needs to interrogate discourses about African sexuality. These discourses have long histories of academic authority that have assisted in ensuring that hegemonic discourses about sexuality were at the heart of the continents' underdevelopment during colonialism. And as contributors to Feminist Africa 5 (on Sexual Cultures) point out, sexuality remains central to contemporary conflict about citizenship in postcolonial and post-apartheid contexts. Scientific and legal discourse about African sexuality informed colonial policies that denied the gendered personhood and citizenship of indigenous Africans.
